AGC-V-7-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AGC-V-7-R is a 7 A, 250 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This through-hole component is housed in a 3AB, 3AG package with dimensions of 1/4" x 1-1/4" (6.76mm x 32.82mm). The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS Compliant with CSA and UL approval certifications.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits cross-manufacturer sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Electrical Parameters:

• Current Rating: 7 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 200 A (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (Axial) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance Status (RoHS Compliant or equivalent)
• Approval Agency Certifications (CSA, UL, or equivalent recognized standards)

The substitute part 0318007.HXP manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution with the AGC-V-7-R.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0318007.HXP manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the AGC-V-7-R. Both components are Active products with full RoHS compliance and recognized international certifications (CSA, UL).

Selection between these parts is based on:

Availability: Choose based on inventory status and supply chain lead times. The AGC-V-7-R has 885 pieces in stock; the 0318007.HXP has 983 pieces in stock.

Certification Requirements: Both parts carry CSA and UL approvals. The 0318007.HXP carries additional certifications (CE, KC, PSE), which may be advantageous in applications requiring broader international compliance.

Physical Dimensions: Dimensional variations between the two parts (0.266" vs. 0.275" diameter; 1.292" vs. 1.288" length) are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard 3AB, 3AG cartridge fuse holders.

Resistance Characteristics: DC cold resistance values (0.012 Ohms vs. 0.0146 Ohms) and melting I²t values (195.02 vs. 118) are within acceptable ranges for fast-blow fuse operation at the specified 7 A rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0318007.HXP be used as a direct replacement for the AGC-V-7-R?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (7 A, 250 V AC), fuse type (cartridge, glass), response time (fast blow), package designation (3AB, 3AG), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both are Active products with RoHS compliance and CSA/UL certifications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The AGC-V-7-R measures 0.266" diameter x 1.292" length; the 0318007.HXP measures 0.275" diameter x 1.288" length. These variations are within standard mechanical tolerances for 3AB, 3AG cartridge fuse holders and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same breaking capacity?

A: Yes. Both the AGC-V-7-R and 0318007.HXP have a breaking capacity of 200 A at rated voltage.

Q: What is the difference in melting I²t values?

A: The AGC-V-7-R has a melting I²t of 195.02; the 0318007.HXP has a melting I²t of 118. Both values are characteristic of fast-blow fuses and fall within acceptable ranges for 7 A cartridge fuses. The difference reflects manufacturing variations between manufacturers but does not affect substitution eligibility at the specified current rating.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry CSA and UL certifications. The 0318007.HXP carries additional certifications (CE, KC, PSE). For applications requiring only CSA and UL compliance, both parts are equivalent. For applications requiring broader international certifications, the 0318007.HXP provides additional compliance coverage.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The electrical specifications, mechanical package, mounting type, and operating temperature range are identical. No design modifications are required for substitution.
